Mitts with no padding reccomendations

[chickenthighs]

Hey,

I've googled most connotations of short finger gloves with no padding/gel but can't find much. Can anyone recommend any mitts without any padding. Just want them for protection of crashing, padding just annoys me/rubs.

Ta.

Evans basic Louis garneau are pretty unpadded. Otherwise driving gloves

With you there, mitt padding can be a bit OTT I think.

Try boating or yachting gloves. I had a pair from a boat shop on the norfolk broads that were superb for cycling in and lasted for a lot of miles.

I have a pair of scott mitts that where on special for about £4 . I'm sure it was from Start cycles although I cant seem to find them on the website now

What about just fingerless gloves - not cycling specific - loads on google

I use the LG cheapest gloves. Quite a lot of padding. Saw some gloves on the weekend that had very little padding. Might be a bit over budget, though

I have THESE. Nice leather gloves with very little padding.

Womens only appear available. They did the job.

Castelli aero race mitts are minimally padded and very comfy, nice long wrist cover too. Bit pricey, £30 is usual but I've had mine four years now and they're still going strong.

The palm has a VERY thin foam pad, but tbh you can hardly tell it's there... Oh and mine are on their 2nd summer with no problems - so reasonably well made for a fiver too

I've got some Giro Zero mitts and found them to be excellent - no padding at all, just the leather palm.

The Altura Gravity mitts have minimal padding and a velcro strap , under a tenner , Altura are constantly changing design on mitts so the design might change shortly like the rest of their range , I am on my third pair and get about 4000 miles out a pair , they are more comfortable than the more expensive Altura mitts.

Mountain warehouse have a variety of gloves, including silk ones. They had some offers when I visited last week.
